K-5 Faith Formation

Pflaum Gospel Weeklies

What is the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies Faith Formation Program? 


The Pflaum Gospel Weeklies is the ONLY liturgically-based catechetical program in the Catholic market for children from preschool through ninth grade. It is available in English and Spanish, digitally and in print. Every lesson on every grade level is based on each week’s Sunday   Gospel and the Catholic doctrine that flows from it. Parents and guardians will find this method easy-to-use. It will assist them in discussing the Gospel together as a family each week as a tool to prepare for attendance at the weekend Mass.
